Buster had surgery yesterday to amputate her tail. We tried our best to get it to heal, but when the tip of her tail rotted off last weekend, that pretty much decided the issue then and there.
I dropped Buster off at the vet early yesterday morning. She recovered slowly from the surgery again, but at least she was able to come home last night! She was a little loopy and seemed to be in more pain than last time -- they also prescribed a stronger dose and more days' worth of pain medication, so this surgery must actually be more painful than the last one even though it seems like it would have been less invasive.
It was sort of shocking to see her bare white butt and stump of a tail! I'll try to take some pictures this weekend. She looks like a different dog without her tail...I'm sad to see it go, but I know it's for the best.
Hopefully this is the last of her major medical issues for awhile. The vomiting is still unresolved, but it seems to be at a point where it's manageable at least!
